Omar our tour guide was... - Omar our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. He kept the tour fun and exciting. The distillery was great and so was the food. I’d highly recommend this tour. I am still waiting on my photo package so that took a little longer than I expected it to

Tasty Tequila and Shrimp - Although the day started out rainy, it ended up being a great trip. From the boardwalk to the tequila tasting to the chocolate area and the leather shop it was a fun day. The best part was the tequila tasting followed by one of the best shrimp meals I have ever had at Rancho Verano. Tested 5 different tequilas and then had 4 types of shrimp: bacon wrapped, coconut, fajita style, and seasoned butterfly. All with a warm mango sauce. Excellent lunch to end the tour. Omar was a great guide.

You are better off just getting an Uber and exploring the city yourself - We booked this tour as we wanted to get out of the Hotel Resort and learn more about the culture and history of Puerto Vallarta. In the description of the highlights of the tour, it states “a full day tour that explores downtown, Los Arcos and Mismaloya Beach”. We found most of the exploration was done through the windows of the bus. With regards to the 50 minutes allotted time for the Malecon Boardwalk as stated in the “What to expect” when we got off the bus, it was more like 10-15 minutes which was basically the walk from the bus to the jewelry store. It felt like every stop was just a tourist cash grab. FYI at the last stop there is only one restaurant. We found it to be very expensive. This is “NOT” a tour that is “ideal for families” as stated in the overview. Unless your children enjoy visiting jewelry and leather stores and learning about the process of making coffee and tequila. You are better off just getting an Uber and exploring the city yourself.

Not even close to authentic Puerto Vallarta - Except for Guadalupe church being on the tour and doing the tequila tasting, and some info as we walked the boardwalk, the rest was a complete waste of time. Going to their friends leather shop, and jewelery store? WTH does this have to do with a PV tour. Then we knew food wasn't included. But then find out to eat you shell out $80 to $100 while at the tequila distillery? What about authentic Mexican food instead of another place where they know the people to direct business their way? I wanted to discover PV, not get fleeced by it.

I paid for the tour for 2 people and we were never picked up at our resort. - Bad review. We were never picked up. I’m demanding a refund. Waste of time. We waited an hour for our ride. I texted the tour operator and no response.

Regretful - Unfortunately our tour was horrible! The tour did not start at 9 am as the tour times stated then it tòok over 1 hour for all passenger pickups which further delayed the tour to start after 10 am And then we still had a 2 hour travel time to the costal scenery for lunch and tequila tasting. The tour was literally too long and we only were able to tour a very small area of Puerta Vallarta. We did not join the group to finish the tour considering the time frame and we had made other plans expecting the tour to end at 3pm. We were very disappointed and would not recommend this tour.

Stranded at pickup point! - We arrived at our pickup place 15 minutes early. We had received a text message stating that the 'van' was ready. A young man met us there and said the 'bus' would be there in a few minutes. A short time later he received a phone call. We were told," The bus has already left. They can't take you because there is not enough room for your scooters." I had informed them ahead of time that our scooters fold up to about the size of a medium suitcase or full size stroller, and was told there would be no problem. We will never recommend this company!

Stranded at the pickup point - We arrived at our pickup place 15 minutes early. A man met us at the designated place and said the bus would be there in a few minutes. A short time later, he received a phone call. We were told "the bus has already left. They can't take you because there is not enough room for your scooter, they are too full". I had informed them ahead of time that our scooters fold up to about the size of a medium suitcase or full size stroller. They said it would be no problem. Would never recommend this company that just left us stranded there!
